in the unlikely event

that I'll unfind you

stamped with swastikas

on the kinderausweis

flagrantly cute

in a white cap and dress

on the boat from Cherbourg


on the off chance

that he mispainted

the stained glass

in a hospice

behind Babies R Us

in Forest Hills 

days before he


in case we

die Scheindel

instead of Charlotte

Szlamkowicz

instead


shouldn't Shlam 

graves bunked snug 

in the cold clay

of Long Island

be plenished with pebbles
